AS FEATURED IN













Divorce doesn’t have to be messy
Online divorce platforms promise cheap and easy solutions, but often deliver slapdash results, leading to costly complications down the road. And when divorce involves lawyer-driven litigation, it’s expensive, drawn out, and emotionally devastating – breaking families apart.
But that doesn’t have to be you.
Through our divorce mediation service, you’ll avoid these pitfalls and secure your future.
It’s divorce done right.

Why choose Equitable Mediation?
Faster, fairer, & far less
expensive
Working with our mediator for divorce takes 3–6 months while lawyer-led litigation can take years. You’ll come out the other side with an agreement that’s fair for everyone – and without an eye-watering legal bill.
Begin your new chapter, preserve your wealth, and rest easy knowing you haven’t been taken advantage of.
Why Choose Us?
Divorce agreements built to last
We don’t just tackle the immediate challenges of your divorce. We help you anticipate speed bumps and plan for future changes in circumstances affecting both you and your kids.
Move forward confidently, without looking back.
Why Choose Us?
Complex financial situations, solved
Finances can get complicated. If your earnings involve bonuses, stock options, RSUs, and/or equity shares, it can be hard to see a clear way forward. With Joe’s MBA in finance, we can clear the thicket of financial complexity, helping you find a way through.
Protect what you’ve built to ensure you’re both well positioned for your respective futures.
Why Choose Us?

By choosing us, you’re taking steps to protect your emotional well-being and that of your children, leading to a more positive transition into your new family dynamic.
Why Choose Us?
Tailored solutions
Every couple’s situation is unique – and so are the issues they face. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all process. Instead, we develop a personalized mediation plan to address your unique needs and circumstances.
Benefit from a process and solutions tailored to you, your family, and your future.
Why Choose Us?
Your partners in resolution
We don’t require you to have all your divorce issues resolved before mediation. Or leave you to make decisions alone. We actively guide you through all necessary issues, bringing options to the table and negotiating areas of disagreement.
Enter mediation knowing you’ll have expert support in addressing and resolving all important matters.
